The function of pitching in Beetle's flight revealed by insect-wearable backpack by Fu, Fang, Li, Yao, Wang, Haitong, Li, Bing, Sato, Hirotaka

“…The study of insect flight orientation is important for investigating flapping-wing aerodynamics and designing bioinspired micro air vehicles (MAVs). Pitch orientation plays a vital role in flight control, which has been explored less than directional control. …”

Patch repair technology with sacrificial zinc anodes in RC slabs with corroded steel bars by Christian, Alvin

“…However, cracks within the concrete would start to form within a month after the application of patch repair. This is because the application of patch repair inadvertently introduces an additional corrosion mechanism. …”

Neural mechanisms of perceptual decision-making in the fruit fly by Wong, LHT

“…</p> <p>Combining molecular cloning, patch-clamp electrophysiology, closed-loop optogenetics, and drift-diffusion modelling, I establish a causal relationship between the neural activity in αβc KCs and the fly’s olfactory decision-making. …”

Effects of music attrition on English-Mandarin Chinese bilinguals’ lexical tone perception and production in a foreign language by Toh, Xin Ru

“…To examine whether cognitive mechanisms for music and speech are domain-general or domain-specific, researchers have studied the effects of musical training on lexical tone pitch processing. However, few studies have studied the effects in the long-term and among tone language speakers. …”

Les sanctions coutumières comme gage de la paix et de la sécurité chez les traditionnalistes moundang du Nord-Cameroun by Dekane, E

“…L’analyse des pratiques diverses relatives aux normes et peines traditionnelles, suivant la théorie du relativisme culturel de Claude Lévi-Strauss, confirme cette hypothèse. Les résultats montrent que les Moundang disposaient d’une culture juridico-judiciaire déclinant les normes sociales, les instances judiciaires et les sanctions draconiennes multiformes par lesquelles ils assuraient la paix et la sécurité. …”

Lights and sounds : effects of congruence and musical sophistication on auditory and visual perception by Aw, Justus Jinyue

“…They undertook a computer-based task where moving or non-moving visual stimuli were paired with audio stimuli that rose or fell in pitch, and were asked to make decisions on whether the visual stimuli moved and the direction of its movement. …”

Effect of turbine motion on floating off shore wind turbine aerodynamics by Tignol, Bo Junior

“…Moreover, unlike the variability in the surging data, the pitching LES exhibited less variations with surging frequencies, which suggests that the analytical model maintains better predictive capability across a diverse range of pitching motions. …”

Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…The results show that the bond market responds to news on credit quality asymmetrically: credit rating downgrades, representing bad news for bond holders, produce the strongest response in returns, whilst upgrades do not generate a statistically significant increase in returns. …”

An artificial neural network model for multi-flexoelectric actuation of plates by Fan, Mu, Yu, Pengcheng, Xiao, Zhongmin

“…Multiple flexoelectric actuators method has the advantage of less stress concentration and better control effect, but the mode-dependent optimal actuator locations could influence the flexoelectric actuation effect significantly. …”

Wetting transition of sessile and condensate droplets on copper-based superhydrophobic surfaces by Zhao, Yugang, Zhang, Hui, Wang, Wei, Yang, Chun

“…We show both theoretically and experimentally that sessile droplets on the surfaces of densely packed nano-asperities (pitch ∼120 nm) can remain in stable Cassie’s mode, while the wetting transition from Cassie’s mode to Wenzel’s mode occurs spontaneously on the surfaces of coarsely packed nano-asperities (pitch ∼300 nm). …”
